| Software notes | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market. The manufacturer recommends using Elegoo Slicer, specifically optimized to leverage the CoreXY kinematics, multi-color printing via the CANVAS system, and vibration compensation algorithms (Input Shaping). Alternatively, popular slicers like Orca Slicer and Cura can be used, offering broad flexibility to users who prefer established workflows. The integrated dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity allows direct transfer of G-code files to the 8 GB internal memory without physical cards, while the internal camera enables remote monitoring and time-lapse video recording, simplifying the management of the printing process even from a distance. | The system is powered by Klipper-based firmware, processed by a 64-bit quad-core SoC, enabling speeds up to 300 mm/s. Connectivity is comprehensive, offering USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi ports for the remote management of massive G-code files. The user interface is accessible via a generous 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, which is detachable from the chassis for comfortable positioning. The machine is best managed using the Elegoo Cura slicer but supports standard STL and OBJ formats, allowing broad workflow flexibility without any dependence on cloud platforms. |
